More Tax Cuts for the Rich

I really hope the DCCC ties these votes around the neck of Republicans seeking re-election this fall.

A rising tide lifts all yachts.

I especially liked the Democratic commentary on this vote, despite the inevitable bad news:

"The Republican Party is sending all the millionaires on an all-expenses-paid vacation — for $41,000 a year," said Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash. "The rest of America is being forced to choose between filling the gas tank or stocking the refrigerator."

and

"Democrats also cited a joint study by the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution that shows taxpayers with incomes greater than $1 million per year winning tax cuts of $42,000 under the bill while families with incomes of $50,000 a year would average a $46 tax cut."

That stat needs as much press as possible. Republican values are not American values.
